| Jeddah has the largest sewage lake known on Terra. Next time you spot one of those trucks, follow it and be truly amazed at how much doodoo is up there, waiting to flood the city. |

Well, when you can't compete with your brain OR your brawn, you resort to this kind of "mine is bigger than yours" oneupmanship.
Of course, once the damn oil runs out, (1) they won't be able to do even that anymore, and (2) all their existing towers will collapse because the slave labor that built and maintains them will decamp in a hurry.
That will be sweeeeeeeeet! |

| For 40 years I have heard embittered migrant workers in KSA talk of the day the oil runs out. It has not happened yet ! |
